It is not a "classic example of assault". It is exactly what it looked like... dumping a glass of tea on someone's head in frustration.

he wasn't high off the floor so that the ice "pelted" her and could have caused damage. The cup did not touch her, no broken glass could have hurt her. It was tea, water and herbs...

Pamy, I guess there was Ice in it. The ice flew over her head and very little water dribbled down the left side of her hair.

How about this:

quote:

Even though assault and battery are often charged together. assault is often defined as a separate crime from battery.

The definition of assault is described as "the unlawful attempt to violently injure another person." Various types of behavior are included in the definition of assault - even threats and attempts to physically injure someone would qualify as an assault (provided the alleged assault victim was aware of the threat).

The definition of battery is described as the "unwanted touching of another person, or anything connected to that person." Considered offensive, a the definition of battery includes an intended act and without consent (permission) of the person being affected. Battery is forceful and/or violent. The primary difference between assault and battery is that battery requires more than merely the verbal threat of harm.

The severity of an Assault & Battery charge can vary.

If anything, there's a possible battery charge here. But assault? Dumping tea? Violent? Nah, sorry, not gonna buy into that.

ETA: With or without sugar, raspberry seeds, ice, or herbs.

" exactly, sanfran, it's too much gray...you can't say where is gets physical. "

Yes, I can. It got physical when Dick's verbal abude escalated more and more until he physically poured tea on her.

"what about the slop fight they had...that was physical. "

That wasn't intentional physical abuse.

"I don't care that it was fun and games...someone could have gotten hurt. Too much gray...you can't stand on it.."

"Fun and games" does not equal INTENTIONAL ABUSE. Well, not in my house anyhow.

If someone did this in the "real world" and the victim pushed for charges to be issued, it would most likely be a Disorderly Conduct charge and the punishment would likely be a fine. In some municipalities you can be cited for swearing in a public place. Society in general has become much ruder and people tolerate much more these days. Manners and good behavior are disappearing rapidly in today's society.

I guess some of us are empaths and can really try to put ourselves in a situation, or have experienced these things ourselves. I personally don't think it's humorous that Jen got iced tea poured on her head. I felt really sad when I watched her get verbally assaulted by nick and dick. I think I would have felt very alone at that moment..so I understand some of us who are passionate about this.

In NY state that IS assult. People go to jail for it, though most get off with a fine and a warning.

It does happen in the bars here too, and they go to jail for it if someone wants the cops called and presses charges.

The fact of this matter is, Dicks verbal tirades have now moved into a physical context and how much more physical is he going to get?

I lived with an abuser for 3 years, it didn't start out physical, it started out with name calling like b*tch and fng b*tch and proceded to get worse.

Dick has a short fuse and his hatred of Jen is simmering just below the surface ALL the time. It festers in him until he lets loose. What happens when he explodes? BB employees can not get inside that house quick enough to prevent physical injury, whether it be Jen, Dick or people trying to prevent an attack from happening.

Dick thinks his game is the only game and he can get away with anything he wants and by leaving him in the house BB is saying he can. CBS is libel if this progresses, IMO.

The BB house is not the "real world" but I guarantee you if it's a crime in the "real world", it's a crime in the BB house. Being in the house does not give anyone special privileges regarding the law, with the exception of perhaps slander and civil cases which they may have signed waivers regarding suing etc.
